NAME

Chart::GGPlot::Geom::Functions - Function interface for Chart::GGPlot::Geom

VERSION

version 0.0007

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the geom_* functions supported by this Chart-GGPlot library. When used standalone, each geom_* function generates a Chart::GGPlot::Layer object. Also the functions can be used as Chart::GGPlot::Plot methods, to add layers into the plot object.

FUNCTIONS

geom_blank

geom_bar

geom_bar(:$mapping=undef, :$data=undef, :$stat='count',
         :$position='stack', :$width=undef,
         :$na_rm=false, :$show_legend=undef, :$inherit_aes=true,
         %rest)

The "bar" geom makes the height bar proportional to the number of cases in each group (or if the weight aesthetic is supplied, the sum of the weights). It uses stat_count() by default: it counts the number of cases at each x position.

Arguments:

  • $mapping

    Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified and $inherit_aes is true (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

  • $data

    The data to be displayed in this layer. If undef, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

  • $stat

    The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.

  • $position

    Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

  • $na_rm

    If false, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If true, missing values are silently removed.

  • $show_legend

    Should this layer be included in the legends? undef, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. A true scalar for never includes, and a defined false scalar for always includes.

  • $inherit_aes

    If false, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification.

  • %rest

    Other arguments passed to Chart::GGPlot::Layer->new(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like color => "red", size => 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.

  • $width

    Bar width. By default, set to 90% of the resolution of the data.

See also "stat_count" in Chart::GGPlot::Stat::Functions.

geom_histogram

geom_histogram(:$mapping=undef, :$data=undef, :$stat="bin",
               :$position="stack", :$binwidth=undef, :$bins=undef,
               :$na_rm=false, :$show_legend=undef, :$inherit_aes=true,
               %rest)

Visualise the distribution of a single continuous variable by dividing the x axis into bins and counting the number of observations in each bin. This "histogram" geom displays the counts with bars.

  • $mapping

    Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified and $inherit_aes is true (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

  • $data

    The data to be displayed in this layer. If undef, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

  • $stat

    The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.

  • $position

    Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

  • $na_rm

    If false, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If true, missing values are silently removed.

  • $show_legend

    Should this layer be included in the legends? undef, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. A true scalar for never includes, and a defined false scalar for always includes.

  • $inherit_aes

    If false, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification.

  • %rest

    Other arguments passed to Chart::GGPlot::Layer->new(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like color => "red", size => 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.

  • $binwidth

    The width of the bins. Can be specified as a numeric value, or a function that calculates width from x. The default is to use $bins bins that cover the range of the data.

  • $bins

    Number of bins. Overridden by $binwidth. Defaults to 30.

    You should always override this $bins or $binwidth, exploring multiple widths to find the best to illustrate the stories in your data.

See also "stat_bin" in Chart::GGPlot::Stat::Functions.

geom_col

geom_col(:$mapping=undef, :$data=undef, :$position="stack",
         :$width=undef, :$na_rm=false, :$show_legend=undef,
         :$inherit_aes=true,
         %rest)

Bar plot. Different from geom_bar(), geom_col() uses stat_identity(): it leaves the data as is.

  • $mapping

    Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified and $inherit_aes is true (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

  • $data

    The data to be displayed in this layer. If undef, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

  • $stat

    The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.

  • $position

    Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

             :$stat='boxplot', :$position='dodge2',
             :$outlier_color=undef, :$outlier_colour=undef,
             :$outlier_fill=undef, :$outlier_shape=undef,
             :$outlier_size=1.5, :$outlier_stroke=undef,
             :$outlier_alpha=undef,
             :$notch=false, :$notchwidth=0.25,

             :$show_legend=undef, :$inherit_aes=true,
             %rest)

The boxplot compactly displays the distribution of a continuous variable. It visualises five summary statistics (the median, two hinges and two whiskers), and all "outlying" points individually.

Arguments:

  • $mapping

    Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified and $inherit_aes is true (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

  • $data

    The data to be displayed in this layer. If undef, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

  • $stat

    The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.

  • $position

    Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

  • $na_rm

    If false, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If true, missing values are silently removed.

  • $show_legend

    Should this layer be included in the legends? undef, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. A true scalar for never includes, and a defined false scalar for always includes.

  • $inherit_aes

    If false, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification.

  • %rest

    Other arguments passed to Chart::GGPlot::Layer->new(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like color => "red", size => 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.

  • $outlier_color, $outlier_fill, $outlier_size, $outlier_stroke, $outlier_alpha

    Default aesthetics for outliers. Set to undef to inherit from the aesthetics used for the box.

    Sometimes it can be useful to hide the outliers, for example when overlaying the raw data points on top of the boxplot. Hiding the outliers can be achieved by setting outlier_shape => ''. Importantly, this does not remove the outliers, it only hides them, so the range calculated for the y-axis will be the same with outliers shown and outliers hidden.

  • $notch

    If false (default) make a standard box plot. If true, make a notched box plot. Notches are used to compare groups; if the notches of two boxes do not overlap, this suggests that the medians are significantly different.

  • $notchwidth

    For a notched box plot, width of the notch relative to the body.

See also "stat_boxplot" in Chart::GGPlot::Stat::Functions.

geom_path

geom_path(:$mapping=undef, :$data=undef, :$stat='identity',

          %rest)

The "path" geom connects the observations in the order in which they appear in the data.

  • $mapping

           :$na_rm=false, :$show_legend=undef, :$inherit_aes=true,
           %rest)

             :$inherit_aes=true,
             %rest)
